I though that was the case. But honestly I'll take a flatpak over appimage since I can get those auto updates. I like appimages for those one off programs like Etcher where I need it for 30 seconds and never again for several months. But it would be so nice to have them as a part of an installable process.
Gnome (default) has it's place for someone who doesn't want a conventional desktop environment or doesn't like the contemporaries desktop look a likes. But man, I'm 20+ years of using Windows and it's the way I like my Desktop Environments.
Oh I knew I cast a wide net when I posted here. Wasn't looking for which distros were best, but rather common pitfalls in this communities zeitgeist, as well as the 1 or two users who actually use the software I am using and any issues that they came across.
For example Fedora was high on my list of potentials before it was pointed out that it has issues with Nvidia's drivers. As I am looking for minimal down time/setup it dropped on my list.
I also heard from someone who is using it on Arch which means I have a fallback if my distros of choice fails.
In North America the NES isn't a top loader and due to the mechanism they used the pins ware out, especially after 35-40 years. On top of that there is very little in the NES Library that's only on the NES these days. If I hadn't already invested in an NES and games, I'd just get the NES Classic and be done with it. If I wanted extra games I'd get collections like the Castlevaina Collection, The Mega Man one, and Disney Afternoon. You can extract the ROMs from these collections and put them on the NES Classic if you are willing to fiddle.
Meanwhile the master system is often times forgotten, but has a similar library for third party games. And what unique games does have are rarely found elsewhere as the master system version. Let alone the European releases like Sonic the Hedgehog.
With that said, I prefaced this with "Find games first" for a reason. The master system has a smaller library of games, and if OP was looking for games more like Dragon Quest Warrior or Final Fantasy, then a system with only Phantasy Star would be a bad choice.
Oh I just added the FreeCAD repos to my OS. Still working out AppImages and how to “install” them to my OS like an application rather then a portable exe.
Did you install Resolve via AUR or from their installer? How was updating the software? Did you find the performance in fusion to be worse in Linux or in par to Windows?
I’d like to do this, but honestly I don’t have the spare storage to let me do this on my desktop. So I’d be cracking it open to swap drives and that’ll be a hassle.
While I have my own personal gripes with it, it’s has one of the most robust GUI configurations I’ve seen in any Linux distos. As someone who doesn’t want downtime having a gui for things like Kernel config and systemd, Manjaro has its perks.
Doesn’t outweigh breaking my build for touching AUR, but ther is a reason I consider it.
Yeah I have an arch in a bum VM (stupid apple auto correct) to toy with new release like this. KDE 6 feels like KDE 5 with some slight tweaks.
Doesn’t sound like praise but considering how buggy KDE was in Wayland before this is a massive improvement. Still not my cup of tea and Libre Office still has issues with separate icons in the task bar.in Wayland.
For me it was two issues. The first was its online account integration, never saw my calendar on my desktop and the community work around didn’t work.
The other issue was when your desktop was resized the icons would be rearranged. So if I plugged my laptop into a monitor I had to rearrange everything.
Outside of that is my person grips with most KDE software and rough edges.
No promises that it’ll work, but you could modify our design files on our GitHub page. I think if the supporting pillar was slightly changed it may work.
I think you should find games first. No point in owning an NES without finding something to play on it. But if you are looking for opinion on the hardware itself.
I own all 3 systems.
Atari 7800: isn't fare to compare it to a NES or Master System. Think of it as a suped up 2600. Great system if you use the European controller or a Sega 9pin controller. Game selection is good but limited. Best way to play 2600 games. Rf only sucks but can be modded. I'd get it if there are 2600 or 7800 games you wanna play. But the Atari 50th collection has pretty much everything you'd want to play on it.
NES: is a good system for the time, but hasn't aged well. Getting games to work has turned into a ritual for me. But when they work you'll have access to the best games from the late 80's and early 90's. Controller has aged like fine wine. Most of its non-nintendo library can be found elsewhere for cheap while the Nintendo games are behind a subscription service. Not many games exclusive these days but worth playing anyways
Master System: the NES we have at home. Mostly a similar library of games to the NES but are sometimes better, sometimes worse. Depends on the publisher. In north america it was forgotten and game selection was limited. Controller is mushy but a genesis controller can fix that.
Out of the 3 the master system is probably the best experience, but the NES has the best games.
